Mellon Foundation’s grant to the Art History department at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center, which made research at the Magnum Archives in New York and New Jersey possible for a small group of students in the fall of 2015. Led by Professor Maria Antonella Pelizzari, along with International Center of Photography curator Kristen Lubben and photographer Susan Miselas, this course focused on the photo essay: what constitutes it and how it appeared in various historical contexts, as well as the theoretical issues of authorship, language, and representation that are essential to its interpretation. Without the offsite visits this course provided, my fellow classmates and I would have never had the opportunity to learn hands-on about how a story is created, do original archival research, or discuss the form of the photo essay with renowned critics and celebrated photographers. While the class was my introduction to Leonard Freed’s work and Black in White America, it was thanks to Magnum’s own Matt Murphy that I was introduced to the photographer’s widow, Brigitte Freed. Brigitte generously hosted me at her home twice while I was writing, opening Leonard’s archives to me, answering any questions I had, and sharing with me over many hours (and delicious meals) the history of her and Leonard’s life during the 1960s. The access I was granted was a scholar’s dream, however I would have been much less successful in navigating the archives and other historical materials essential to my research had I not been able to speak with Paul Farber about my project. Brigitte, Paul: I thank you both very much for your bountiful assistance. ii I would also like to thank my supervisor at the James Gallery, curator Katherine Carl, for supporting my enrollment in the aforementioned class and all of the previous courses that I took toawrds my Master’s degree in Art History—I realize what a gift this was and am truly grateful for it. I have been very fortunate to work at the Graduate Center while also being enrolled as a student at Hunter, and would like to offer my thanks to my colleagues at the GC and particularly to the students I have learned from in my seminars there: your sparkling intellects and rigorous politics have inspired me greatly. I am also grateful to Professor Katherine Manthorne for her thoughtful feedback on the following thesis—it is no doubt stronger because of her suggestions. That said, one person at CUNY has been essential to my scholarly pursuits: Maria Antonella Pelizzari. From the integration of original photographic materials and diverse scholarly perspectives into the classroom, to the creation of opportunities for her classes to learn together in a variety of contexts, she has been a superb teacher, unflagging in her enthusiasm for photography scholarship and support of her students, including me. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her at every step of the process that resulted in this thesis, from discussing contact sheets in her office to exchanging drafts online on more than one late night. Thank you, Professor—you have impacted my scholarship and thinking tremendously. I would also like to offer a word of gratitude to the great gaggle of creative people I am lucky enough to call my friends: you have not only supported me in all the essential ways, but have also provided fresh perspectives when I needed them most. Lastly, I would like to thank my father for his meticulous editorial assistance and for sharing his personal experience of the Civil Rights Movement with me. While this project was catalyzed by that history and the contemporary moment in American politics, I hope it will be useful to future readers and scholars. iii List of Illustrations Figure 1 Leonard Freed, Black in White America.

  • Two Visions of Spain in the 1950S: Eugene Smith and Brassaï
    Two Visions of Spain in the 1950s: Eugene Smith and Brassaï In the nineteen fifties Spain caught the interest of a number of international photographers. Two specific projects are recalled here: Eugene Smith’s Spanish Village, a controversial feature with overt political intentions made for Life magazine, and Brassaï’s series Séville en fête made for Harper’s Bazaar, that proposes instead a picture of Spain halfway between the dream-like images indebted to Surrealism and the clichés of a tourist guide. extraordinary formal perfection, thanks to Smith’s painstaking way of composing his pictures in the manner of a stage director, and on the other it revealed the harshest aspects of Spanish reality, the subsist- ence economy, the Roman plough and the handcrafted distaff still in use, or the weight of authority symbolised by the two civil guards reproduced on a large scale by Life.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the book's original publication 15 May , a new edition was published by Steidl. As he has done for every edition of The Americans , Frank changed the cropping of many of the photographs, usually including more information, and two slightly different photographs were used. Much of the criticism Frank faced was as well related to his photojournalistic style, wherein the immediacy of the hand-held camera introduced technical imperfections into the resulting images.

It could seem as if Frank threw his Leica into the world and let it catch what it could, which happened, without fail, to be something exciting—fascination, pain, hilarity, disgust, longing.

    Page 2 Centre Pompidou Brassaï 19 avril-26 juin 2000, galerie 2, niveau 6 Photographe de «Paris de Nuit» (1932), puis de «Paris Secret» (1976), Brassaï (1899-1984) est l'auteur d'une oeuvre inscrite dans l'imaginaire collectif comme le témoignage d'un monde disparu : celui des apaches et des belles de nuit qui hantent également l'univers des films de Prévert et de Carné . Le Centre Pompidou consacre, du 19 avril au 26 juin 2000, la première grande exposition rétrospective jamais présentée en France sur )'oeuvre du célèbre photographe d'origine hongroise. Cette manifestation rassemblera environ 450 oeuvres de Brassaï : photographies, sculptures, dessins, ainsi que des documents d'archives, provenant pour l'essentiel des collections du Musée national d'art moderne au Centre Pompidou, et du dépôt fait par Madame Gilberte Brassaï . Cet ensemble sera complété par quelques prêts de ta Bibliothèque nationale de France, de la Maison Européenne de la Photographie et du Mobilier national. Cette exposition présentera quelques unes des expositions historiques, reconstituées et présentées dans leurs réalités physiques, ainsi que des aspects encore méconnus de l'oeuvre de Brassaï à travers une centaine de travaux totalement inédits, panoramiques réalisés par collages, et séquences exprimant le souci constant chez l'artiste de faire éclater le cadre trop contraignant de ta photographie. Né hongrois dans la petite ville de Brasso en Transylvanie en 1899, devenu roumain après le traité de Trianon en 1920, Gyula Halàsz, qui prendra plus tard le nom de Brassaï, fit son premier séjour à Paris en 1903-1904, son père, professeur de littérature française, ayant obtenu d'y passer une année de congé .
